Awesome build man. Looks like you have a S60, not a 12bolt

Looks like Konis on there? If so, good choice.

The only thing to keep this from being perfection? Kooks true dual setup, would be wicked on this dude.

Truly awesome build, well done!

Default Thanks everyone! Video Soon....

Thanks all for the comments on the thread. I just got back in the USA, and will be getting some videos up soon.

I have an 05 Colorado Xtreme that we dropped the old LS1 into that we're finishing up hopefully by the end of next week. Once finished, I need to break in that motor, and then we'll take them both to dyno and get videos of both. If nothing else, I'll get some vids of just the TA pre-dyno in the next week or so.

Stay tuned!

That's the reluctor wheel signal converter. The stock LS1 is a 24X reluctor wheel, while the LS3 is a 58X reluctor wheel. This box takes the 58X reluctor signal and converts it to a 24X signal that the stock ECU/electronics can understand. Much easier to run a 300$ converter rather than switch all the electronics over for the 58X reluctor signal. It's been fine so far. Not a single issue.

Ohh yea, me likey the twisties.... lol
